From: "Glen Fuller" <spacedet-AT-hotmail.com> Subject: RE: arabs ana hanums Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2001 14:19:17 +0800 Jivko, I may not disagree with your assertions regarding 'micro-facists' of the West but take step back from what you are writing. A minor example of what I think you should realise of your own writing: You are trying to give authority to your voice by historicizing your subject position (with regards to the comment about "400 years of..."). What you are doing is setting up a reference point that (you hope) validates what you write. It may or may not (that depends on your 'listening' or 'reading' subject position), but it doesn't add to the truth-value of your words, only to their romantic nature. With regards to the 'West' (and to hopelessly over-generalise), just because someone has power over you doesn't mean that you are necessarily in a bad siuation. Does it?
